Single letter equations is not a good option for me. A step back from the 27S.
I get the feeling the 50G indeed an overshoot.
The prime seems capable to do lot of what I want and a lot more from what I heared.
but maybe there is a simpler version between the HP35S and the HP50g?
solver in the 27S was always great
HP39GII? HP40GS or are these no longer actual?

Thanks sofar

It seems you should find another 27s :-)
I am a very long term RPL user (almost 30 years.....)Rh
The HP48SX was my tool at the university and at the beginning of my career.
Now I use a 50g and a 48gx with some additional ram.
Frankly speaking I strongly prefer the 48gx as the 50g is too much aimed to symbolic calculations and I do only numerical.
The real limit in your possibility of choice is the algebraic, which strongly limits the choice in HP world.
In your shoes, I would give the 50g a second chance. It is a very powerful tool, customizable and fully programmable.
I never used in in algebraic mode....
You can find plenty of software for it and, installing one of the several equation managers, you can archive and recall all your equations very quickly.
Furthermore, the 50g memory can be organized using directories just like any personal computer.
Once tried, it's hard to find something better.
